What the Tesla Roadster sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Roadster, latest tested year 2012:
The label also prints an estimated $850 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles. Electric models are rated in MPGe — miles per gallon of energy equivalent, with 265 miles of EPA range.
What's on the Tesla Roadster sticker
Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 89 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. ForCar rebuilds the label from the VIN, so it comes back with that car's exact build rather than a generic spec.
For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost, and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

What is a window sticker (Monroney label)?
The Monroney sticker is the label legally required on every new US vehicle — MSRP, standard and optional equipment with prices, EPA fuel economy, safety ratings and warranty.
Can I get a window sticker by VIN for free?
Yes — enter the VIN and ForCar recreates the build (equipment, MPG, safety) from NHTSA's public database, free with no signup.
Is this the same as CarEdge or Monroney.com?
Like those sites, ForCar recreates the original window sticker from the VIN for free — equipment, EPA MPG and safety from official NHTSA and EPA data, plus a built-in editor to add pricing and options.
Is the recreated sticker the same as the original?
It rebuilds the factory equipment, EPA MPG and safety from official data. Exact dealer-added pricing may differ, but the core Monroney content matches.
Where do I find the VIN?
Lower-left of the windshield, the driver's door-jamb sticker, or your registration and insurance documents.
What's the difference between a window sticker and a build sheet?
The window sticker (Monroney label) is the consumer-facing label with MSRP, equipment, MPG and safety. A build sheet is the factory's internal spec list — option codes, paint code and assembly details. ForCar's VIN lookup pulls both.
Can I get a window sticker for a used or older car?
Yes. ForCar rebuilds the original window sticker for used and older vehicles from the VIN. Coverage runs back to about 1981, when the 17-character VIN became standard; most cars from the 1990s on have full data.
I lost my window sticker — can I get a copy?
Yes. Enter the VIN, view the recreated Monroney label and use Print / Save as PDF to keep a copy for your records, an insurance claim or a sale. There's no need to contact the dealer or manufacturer.
Why might the recreated MSRP differ from the original?
The factory equipment, EPA MPG and safety match the original. Dealer-added options, regional packages and destination charges can vary, so the exact total may differ slightly from the printed sticker.
